(a) Conversion of PE to n-alkanes through hydrogenolysis over noble metal catalysts under high-pressure H2;

(b) conversion of PE to gasoline on LSP zeolites under mild conditions via an SSH strategy, and the resultant gasoline showing an unprecedented selectivity of 99% for direct use as a fuel (Habs, hydride abstraction; β-scis, β-scission; Isom, isomerization; Htf, hydride transfer
